Path issues when compiling my DLL

I am trying to compile my DLL from command line utility nmake. I am running Visual C++ 6.0 Enterprise edition. The path to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include" is available in my classpath environment variable and bin also is present in Path variable. However when i run namake it says it didnt find cl.exe. I had to go through the process of copying over these files to my project folder which included c1.exe, stdio.h, windows.h etc etc..

Why would the compiler not pick these files as the location has already been added?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thank you so much DanRollins for your response.. i did run the batchfile and ran nmake for the project directory to get the following result..

'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Stop.

Looks like it cant find cl.exe again. DO i need to start copying cl.exe to the src directory again?

After running the batch file i did run CL. The error i receive states
"This application has failed to start because mspdb60.dll was bit found.Re-installing the application might fix the problem "

A search in visual studio folder did not have mspdb60.dll...

Thanks Danrollin.. Looks like i was missing a dll in my installed directory . Placing the dll "mspdb60.dll" within lib resolved the issue.
